No a static rule matches and no traced behavioral findings were produced for this package version. Nothing in the analyzed artifacts indicates exfiltration, install-time remote code execution, silent-relay, credential distribution, backdoor, or dependency-tree hijack against the installer.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
